gurrrl, dont hold ya breath

I got my flight to SF booked this weekend :yes:

That Red Rocks place in Denver looks SICK tho, if I lived closer, I'd be trying to catch her there.

BTW if you want tics, I suggest you hit up bjork.com sooner rather than later, unless you like to leave things up to chance.........

same exact list. Although 1& 2 always switch ala Kid A & amnesiac

[elle simple]

damn, I do not "get" Vespertine at all, that's dead last for me (tho I am making a renewed attempt to 'get' it lol) & Medulla is my new favorite!! I always liked it, but am relistening and it's amazing... I wake up with those songs in my head.... then Homogenic, Post and Debut all mashed up for 2nd3rd4th place

I need to watch Dancer in the Dark again, but it disturbed me so much I dont even want to listen to the music :sad: But I do like "I've seen it all" hmm, might have to give the soundtrack another spin.... Havent heard Drawing Restraint.

7. Telegram
8. Drawing Restraint Nine

Incredible catalogue

[Copper Scroll]

Let's not forget that Bjork has had some INCREDIBLE b-sides. "Karvel" and "I Go Humble" doo-doo on at least 95% of her catalogue... not at all an exaggeration.

If you'd heard Drawing Restraint 9, you would have a new least favorite Bjork record. Trust us.

aw :hug:

but yeah I had a similar experience, just being frozen with tears streaming down my face. Maybe I dont actually want to watch it again :unsure:


I just saw the Oceania video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QENH_FN5Bys) for the first time today, had only seen the Olympic performance of it... damn I love this song, pure poetry and the video is SICK

this is her worst sh!t solo, ever, imo.

i hate this record.

towai tei please give timbo some lessons on bjork's whole genre.

i said this over at hhc. man this sh!t sounds like her wack sugarcubes sh!t, and devo mixed together, plus the bathroom interlude from debut.

avoid this record if you are a bjork fan.

i go humble is probaby my biggest guilty pleasure, ever.

i pull out the gold cd single, and it's repeat city.

LoL now you know the legions of Bjork fans will never agree on everything

and the Sugarcubes first album is CLASSIC!! :thumbsup:

she got some podcasts about the new album on youtube

There's a Spank Rock remix out of Earth Intruders.

her performance on there is classic. the hooks, and other sh!t is awful.

i'm so glad she went solo, but at the time i had to deal with it to hear her.

when debut came out, it was like when lauren went solo before she went solo.

the spooks is another group like the sugarcubes. i can't really deal with the other people in the band except the singer.

[Mwakenya]

Just heard this has already leaked...

[BigHedd]

heard this today for the first time. Classic Bjork. A lot of this sh1t reminds me of both post and vesperatine. favorite tracks are "vertebrae by vertebrae" and "declare independance". The latter is Bjork like I haven't heard her i don't think ever. Reminds me of "pluto" a lot. Sh1t is just fierce. Thus, my (completely conditional) list of the best Bjork Albums:

1. Homogenic
2. Post
2. Vesperatine
4. Volta (obviously need repeated listens)
5. Medulla
6. Debut
7. Drawing Restraints 9/ Selma Songs (never listen to these...ever)

The Timbaland tracks are ok. Definately not the highlights of the album, but nothing to be scoffed at. Definately will make my top 10 list come December, but then again i haven't heard much new sh1t this year. Thats what the summer is for I guess.

[Zayus]

I rate this album so highly. Bjork is one the few musicians (along with Mike Patton, Damon Albarn and a few others) who I'll likely buy any project she's associated with. In order of ranking, I'd put it above Medulla and just slightly above Debut (4 & 4.5/5 respectively), a bit under Vespertine (4.5/5) and under Post & Homogenic (5/5). I don't rate Drawing Restraint or Selmasongs because they're soundtracks. Great soundtracks but not really albums as much as they are mood setters or scores.

coworker sent this link to full audio of a recent performance
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=9872952#email

LMAO@the dork-ass NPR announcers, but otherwise, good isht... love the speeded up version of Oceania.... am super excited for the SF-area show next week!!

[BigHedd]

Jesus, Volta has put me in a fukkin Bjork funk like no other. Im playin Post and Debut as if I just discovered these jawns ("Enjoy" is that sh1t). Jesus this woman is a genius. Unfortunately the fact that I've been listening to these albums more than the new ish might mean something. I will have to say that her first four are better than Volta. Can't really decide though. So for now Ill just remain content with what I got.

[Copper Scroll]

Volta is pretty good. My main disappointment is that (for the first time) she doesn't seem to be doing anything new. Up until now, everything she put out was unique and untried (by her) before. Maybe that's a good thing, because I thought the Medulla experiment had so so results and Drawing Restraint 9 was awful. Volta seems to sum up everything she's done since Debut--bringing everything together with some success.

[AnotherGirl]

love the new stuff ...Elle did you catch her on SNL a few weeks ago?

[elle simple]

no I missed the SNL but the live show last Saturday was 100% PURE CRACK!!! heheheheee

there are a bunch of clips on youtube but here goes the full audio of that show (and individual tracks), at relatively good quality

http://www.wavesandwires.com/2007/05/21/bjork-2007-05-19-shoreline-amphitheatre-mountain-view-ca/

just peep the bass-heavy-insanity of what Hyperballad turns into, and then imagine a crazy light show to go with it while 20,000 people get their minds collectively blown.... MADNESS!!!

oh wait, here's a youtube of it

I hear that, I was upset by only being able to go once and having to sit far back..... each show is different, too..... ah, if only I were a jet-setting playgirl....
